Where does it say you can't eat lobster?
Leviticus 11:9-12
"Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales. But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales — whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water — you are to detest. And since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat."

Well, this is certainly new to me. I have never seen it in this context before. However, I believe (but will do more research) that the context is supposed to be for the Jewish people of the day. I am sure that in the new testament when Jesus said "One man's faith allows him to eat everything but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables." (Romans 14:2) he was talking about the rules set before the Jews on what they can eat and what they can't eat.
I don't, personally, believe this rules still stands. Unless, of course you are jewish. I am not sure if that is one of the things Jews cannot eat...
Interesting.
Leviticus is the book of the bible most people quote to prove God is against homosexuality. Actually Leviticus is a book of kosher rules for the Levites so it also talks about what is clean to eat and how a woman should leave the house for ten days when she menstruates. It also says that anything she touches during this time is unclean.
Oh, well.. what an interesting book.
I haven't not, to be honest, read much of the old testament. But, that has been one of my goals. Maybe this is my chance to get in there and begin studying it.

No offense taken. Actually a friend of mine corrected me yesterday and I didn't even think about coming here and amending it.
Thanks...
Shiny is Jewish.
Boiling lobsters reminds me of that scene in Julie & Julia when she reaches that chapter. Oh, it is horrendous for me.
A few people have told me that my freakish attribute is my head & face -- apparently, my oval head & dull facial structure make me look "caucasian" with a nice tan. WTF -- I think they were trying to say that I look "less Mexican". Seriously, do people even realise when they are being racist though?
We are not missing out on this ridiculously funny comment. When you remember, you are posting it here or on Tumblr, mister.
I can do a free hug. I am going to save my hug for a Jew out in Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. yay! Thank you for the reminder
I agree with what you have to say about jimschweizer. That man keeps it real, dawg.
You need a locksmith or something! My passenger side door did not work for a while, but now it magically does. I am not complaining.
Who told you about Sonny Bono? I think I missed a character in your little story here! =[ But yeah, he died while skiing. Ran right into a tree, if I remember correctly.
LOL @ "Let it be" -- oh eddie..

I remember my parents had to take me out of the kitchen when they made lobster when I was little because I was horrified. I've never had lobster. I thought about it when I was in Boston. Had I known I would have gotten a bib, I totally would've.
My wife will remember what it was. I think she's one of those super-memory people. She was the one who told me about Sonny Bono.

Eddie in a bib... that is a picture to put on the restaurant walls
Tell your wife she should count her blessings =)

P.S. I am happy to see you using tags. As a referential tool, you will see that they come in way handy in the future =) I like to think that I had a hand in encouraging you to use these!! I am a tag whore
But the "reacharound" tag sings an entirely different chorus for me. Just FYI! Okay, last reply, I promise!!
Maybe that's why lobsters scream when you boil them. They're screaming SINNER, SINNER!
LMAO! That's hilarious!
